Richmond Gear Quality
I know many folks here have Richmond gears and I've seen a few sets of them shredded. So I thought I'd tally up just how good/bad they are.

I can't speak from experience, but was warned not to buy them! I am waiting on some Lingenfelter 3.70's!

I've installed OEM gears in Ford 9", older 12-bolt GM's, and Dana 60's and I've always been able to set them up to be quiet. Not so with these 4.11's. I even installed them twice, the first time I set them up I got a perfect tooth contact pattern (indicator of pinion depth) and backlash within tolerance. The second time I decided to try setting the pinion depth exactly to the specification (ignoring the contact pattern); I was able to get it within 0.001" and the backlash again within spec and they still whine. Yes, I used a case spreader. |

So far, 65% have busted or whine. That's not a good sign :O

For some reason I thought Richmond was a good quality gear set. I guess not.
